When dealing with person names, nicknames can make it hard to tell if two people are indeed the same person, unless you had a tool to help you identify these names. But do you use a custom stemming dictionary? Stemming thesaurus? Are there other options? Here, we compare options for stemming person names in MarkLogic to help you decide which is the right approach for you.
Are there any recommendation regarding the stemming option to use between basic, advanced and decompounding? Would it be a good approach to always use the "advanced" option when enabling stemming for French?
